Really Rob?! Thats great! The vehicle inspection was the only thing I thought we had to some back for. The lady at the Bastrop County tax office said we had to have a current vehicle inspection before we could renew our license plate registration every year at the same time. Well that solves one of our issues.

There are two different processes for in-person and renewal on the internet. When you renew on the internet, you electronically "sign" an affidavit stating that the vehicle is out of state and that you agree to have it inspected the next time the vehicle is back in Texas. The whole thing is quite painless. We often re-enter the state in the northeast corner (we have family in Tyler). We've found an inspection station right down the road from where we stay that has a large bay that can accommodate 18-wheelers and large RVs. We just stop there on the way into town and have all three vehicles inspected at the same time (my wife drives a "chase car" on travel days so we have something besides a LB CC DRW truck to run around in...).

Has anyone looked into the cost for registration of a new Momentum in SD, TX, or FL? Or does anyone mind sharing what they are paying for tags that is registered in these states? I would like to figure out if it is worth registering my Momentum out of state to save on fees. Thanks
We started with a old 24ft stick and tin in 2006, then purchased our first new trailer in 2013 with an Ecplise 23SCG thinking this would be our last trailer. That was until we unexpectedly took in a family members children on top of the 3 we had, so we now have 1 biological and 4 adopted children for a total of 5 children. So here we are, just purchased a new 2018 Momentum 388M to keep our sanity with seven people and two 100 lb dogs. We like primarily dry camping in the forest but try to take the children every summer for a 2-4 week adventure showing them different parts of the country. Thanks to my job as a Paramedic Firefighter I get to spend a lot of time camping with the children throughout the year.

Attached link to SD licensing/registrations/fees/etc. As noted in the first link we pay 4% (one time) of price paid or net trade amount + minor fees as noted and the annual license fees are noted in the second link stated by trailer GVWR:

As far as drivers license renewal goes, you have to show up in person every 12 years...no exceptions. This year was my year to renew and I didn't notice it until I was in SW Arizona. So I choose to fly from Las Vegas to Austin where my brother lives to renew. Two hundred dollars later, thank you Southwest, I'm god to go.

There is more to consider than just vehicle registration and sales tax on on the vehicles. If you're talking domicile, New Mexico is one of the least tax-friendly states according to Kiplinger. Sales taxes for other than vehicles can be as high as 8.7% (services are taxes, as well). Social Security benefits are taxed and exemptions for other retirement income are low. Annual property taxes on the median home value of $158,400 are $1,197/year and you have to be 65 or older and earn less than $16,000/year to qualify for a property tax credit of $250/year - and that's if you're married filing jointly. I am a native New Mexican and love to spend time back in the state - but I wouldn't consider re-establishing domicile here as a retiree (I say "here" because we're currently in NM visiting family).

I agree, but I don't maintain residence there for IRS, state income tax or employment purposes. I do own a place in NM which allows me to register vehicles there. Even if you don't own a place you can use utility bills and other documentation to register vehicles if you're a part time resident (even w/o a NM driver license).
